Rebuilding rear-end, a little guidance please

What I've got so far. . .

SLP posi

3.23 gears

What I'm about to buy. . .

Ratech's Complete kit (p/n RAT-308TK) from summit for $93. Hopefully this is what I need.

What I'm still confused about. . .

What rear diff fluid do I need? I was going to go w/ Mobil 1, but do I need to get some kind of slip additive or something like that?

I still need speedo gears, but I got a tranny guy who's going to help with that later.

Am I missing anything guys?

Thanks,

-The Gunny

That's mostly about it.

You might want to get a "crush sleeve eliminator", so you can tighten the pinion nut as tight as you want, and not have to stop when preload is reached; and some axle bearings & seals, since then every wear part in your rear will be new.

If you're in Oceanside, I've used Oceanside Driveline before for other stuff, they seem to do good work.
